your stars A home improvement project will be a worthwhile investment in the spring.

for the year ahead

LIBRA (24 Sept-23 Oct)

LOVE Problems in a close relationship need to be addressed in the new year. Sit with your partner and take a look at your joint future.

Don’t let jealousy tear a loving relationship apart. If your partner needs more freedom, encourage them to have their own friends. Equally, if their possessiveness is choking the life out of your relationship, let them know it. Are you single? Embrace your freedom. You will find love when you least expect it.

LIFE Leave a stubborn relative to make their own choices as the year begins and, in the spring, remind them to respect your opinions.

Even if people disagree with you, they can’t be allowed to interfere with your personal life. You will feel ready to break away from possessive people and oppressive situations in the summer. The friends and family who support your hopes, dreams and desires will keep you uplifted in November.

MONEY

Upgrading an old plumbing, electrical or heating system will increase the value of your home. If you don’t own your own place, you might be thinking about buying one or moving to a better area. Keep plugging away if you are hoping to make money from a creative talent. Take any opportunity to showcase your skills and the commissions will start rolling in.

SCORPIO (24 Oct-22 Nov)

LOVE The chemistry between you and your amour is powerful. You feel inspired to pursue your heart’s desire.

Romance occupies your thoughts in January. Your priority in the spring will be to focus on the supportive bonds you share with friends and loved ones. These are the relationships that help you through life’s ups and downs. Your social life is fun, but retreating to a secluded hideaway with your amour in August will give you both some much-needed privacy.

LIFE Shared experiences with like-minded friends will make you feel warm and appreciated.

A group project will come to a successful conclusion in April. This will motivate you all to begin something new and entirely different together. Getting involved with a humanitarian organisation will give you an opportunity to support a cause that is close to your heart in the autumn.

MONEY You will have no trouble attracting creative opportunities in the new year. This is not a good time to take a financial risk.

Experiment with new ideas, but steer clear of get-rich-quick schemes. It may be necessary to buy tools and materials for a job you take on in August. Treat this expense as an investment in your ultimate success. A new source of income will arrive in December.

SAGITTARIUS (23 Nov-21 Dec)

LOVE If money is getting in the way of love in January, be honest about what you can and can’t afford.

It would be better to confront problems than to swallow your emotions. Delegating responsibilities in the spring will give you more time for activities you love. Take this opportunity to go on a romantic holiday. Are you single? You will meet someone special at a spiritual, cultural or music festival in the summer.

LIFE Check that you don’t lose track of spending while travelling in March and April. Stay within your budget.

You will enjoy reconnecting with close friends and family in the summer. Seek to satisfy your spiritual needs in the autumn. Enjoying music and communing with nature will make you feel positive and contented.

MONEY Your social life will be taking a toll on your finances as the year begins. Let people know you can’t afford expensive outings and get togethers.

A friend who is obsessed with fashion and who loves to make ridiculously extravagant purchases will try to influence you. You can think of better things to do with your hardearned cash, and by March the pair of you will have gone your separate ways. Be careful with financial resources as the year ends.

CAPRICORN (22 Dec-20 Jan)

LOVE Planning an exciting journey with an adventurous friend will give you something special to anticipate.

It’s a year when you are determined to make time for travel and joyful pursuits. Your charisma will be at an all-time high in the spring. If you are single, don’t be surprised when you start to attract admirers at every turn. You will take special delight in showering your amour with tender loving care in the autumn. You’re finding it easier to express your feelings.

LIFE Following a heartfelt wish will attract love and luck during the first three months of the year.

You realise it is time to put past disappointments behind you and focus on your future. You radiate positive energy. This is why you find it easy to attract the opportunities you desire. Developments in a close relationship will inspire you to establish roots as the year ends.

MONEY

The good fortune you experience as the year begins is not due to chance, it is thanks to all the hard work and sacrifices you have made to get to this point. A new job that gives you perks and bonuses will improve your financial situation. With Jupiter in your sign, there will be regular opportunities for advancement in 2020 and your lifestyle will dramatically improve.

AQUARIUS (21 Jan-19 Feb)

LOVE

Some people are meant to stay in your life for many more years to come, but there are relationships that will be coming to an end between January and March. You will be choosing to spend more time with like-minded friends who help you learn and grow. Changes in your relationships will make your confidence soar as you feel more able to be yourself, rather than the person other people want you to be.

LIFE You are beginning to realise you have been spreading yourself too thin. The best way to reduce stress in January will be to declutter your life.

Reducing responsibilities and reorganising your home and workspace will lead to big improvements in the long run. If you’re longing to go on a trip, October’s the month that will take you on a journey to a place that’s always fascinated you.

MONEY Refuse to dig into your savings to give someone a loan as the year begins. If they have been irresponsible with their finances, they are unlikely to repay you.

Cut off anyone who has been taking advantage of your generosity. Freelance assignments will bring in regular income during the first half of the year. When you’re doing what you love, the money will just seem to follow. You could get a great group discount on a travel booking in October.

PISCES (20 Feb-20 Mar)

LOVE A new approach to relationships in the new year will bring you greater happiness.

Instead of being attentive to the needs of your partner, family and friends, you will start thinking about yourself. Encourage compromise and strive to bring balance to your relationships. Are you single? A new romance in the summer will make you shine with happiness. Support from your partner will give you the courage to make a big change in your life in December.

LIFE Expanding your interests and horizons will make you more confident. Visiting a seaside resort will be spiritually uplifting in the summer.

If you’re travelling with your partner, it will feel as if you’re on a second honeymoon. An activity holiday with the family in the autumn will be more fun than you expect. Make more time for spiritual pursuits in December.

MONEY You’re looking for ways to make more money, and applying for a betterpaying job or launching your own business are among the possibilities in the spring.

Your income will get a boost in June when either you or your partner will be offered a generous raise. Don’t feel pressured to give more than is healthy through money, time or effort in the summer. You will have great instincts about money as the year ends.
